Features of Hamilton North
Waikato Stadium
Waikato Stadium, formerly Rugby Park, is a major sporting and cultural events venue in Hamilton with a total capacity of 25,800. The stadium is a multi-purpose facility, though used mainly for rugby union.
Founders Theatre
Founders Theatre was Hamilton's largest and best-known theatrical venue with a capacity of 1,249, opened in 1961.[4] It was officially opened on 17 November 1962 by Mayor Denis Rogers, and the Dame Hilda Ross Memorial Fountain, in front of the theatre, was opened by Prime Minister Keith Holyoake in 1963.[5] The theatre also performed an important Town Hall function for the city hosting many Civic and Institutional ceremonies. In 2015 the flying system, holding stage curtains, lights, scenery, etc was found to be unsafe.[5] The theatre doors closed on 1 March 2016, due to health and safety concerns. The city council took submissions from residents of Hamilton to decide its future and was, in 2018, exploring proposals.[6] Further investigation classified the theatre as earthquake-prone, so it will be demolished.[5]
The adjacent fountain in Boyes Park was built in 1978 for $87,000 and contains a time capsule of Hamilton's Centenary.[7]
Casabella Lane
Located between Barton St and Angelsea St, Casabella Lane is a Spanish themed lane with 21 boutique shops and 9 apartments,[8] built about 2000.[9]
The Farming Family
The Farming Family was donated to the city by controversial businessman, Sir Robert Jones, in 1990 to commemorate the ordinary farming family as being the unsung heroes of Hamilton's 150-year history. The statue, a bronze life-sized sculpture created by Margriet Windhausen van den Berg, has sparked much debate about whether it solely celebrates the European history of the Waikato region. The Farming Family consists of a male farmer and his wife, two young children, a dairy cow, a sheep and a dog. The statue is located on a traffic island at the intersection of Victoria Street and Ulster Street. It has been described as "racist and offensive".[10]
